Bought April 2014 from Cycleworks in Mississauga that is no longer open :'(

Hiya gents, update fer y'all: After trying it on Friday morning and letting the battery sit all day, came home to find it at 12.8v (!!) put it back in the bike, turn the key and... It barely managed to get one crank. While it was in there, I tried a current leak test and my DVM read 0ma, so...

haha, no definitely didn't install it backwards. ever. I actually attempted to start the bike twice last night; First time: took it off the tender, went to storage spot, installed battery, checked lights - all was good. Took about 45 mins to gear up, reassemble the seat, etc, pack tools away...

What would it be like during the summers if I had a bad regulator/rectifier? When I use the bike during riding season it never has any issues - starts up every time and is very reliable.

^ Thanks gents - I emailed Ace Moto Tech and Brampton Power Sports today to see what their pricing is like. I think I'd like to try an "AGM" battery this time, as they should be more durable. Looks like I should've checked the reviews before buying this ****ing POS...

No dice this morning. Okay so now I need recommendations: go back to Yuasa? Does Canadian Tire have good batteries? I've used Eliminators in two of my previous cars with great success... And lastly, how tf do I store it in winter? I was thinking of keeping it in the bike this time, and...

Nope - it and the tender sat on some boxes. 6-12" up from the floor Update: After I created this thread, I brought the battery back home and did a "high voltage" quick charge for 2 hours during the game (GO RAPS!!!) Took it back, put it in the bike and immediately started it up (earlier today...

Right! Several people have told me this too: no charger, no nothing - just let it sit in the bike all winter. So how is that different than removing it and letting sit at room temperature?

Just tried to start it up for the season and my battery won't start the bike - turns all the lights on, but not enough amperage to turn the motor over. Background: - I had a Yuasa battery for ~4 seasons, and I used to leave it in the bike and hook it up to a trickle charger when I stored it...

I feel you; motorcycling is definitely a more efficient means of travel from a time and fuel consumption perspective (hell, that's how I justify it, too!), but if (hypothetically) every 1-person car turned into a 1-person motorcycle in the GTA, our smog issues would be very similar, if not worse...

RIP :'(

I was considering this one after trying it out, but it's hella expensive: http://gizmodo.com/firefly-2-is-the-beginner-vape-for-the-experienced-ston-1765811492

Try reducing your coverage to just liability, theft and fire only. I had to when I started riding, and I was your age! It'll make sure you ride REALLY defensively until you can afford full coverage. G/L

It's truly disappointing that people can't be more accepting of motorcycles, here. I agree with everything in terms of reducing congestion, and alleviating parking space as advantages of riding motorcycles, however motorcycles are NOT more "green" than cars. We pollute with less volume, but in...

:lmao:mfao

Looks like a mighty fine business opportunity ... any electricians here looking for work? lol

LOL that's not ironic. I'm offering advise based on a particularly choosy wine drinker that I am close with. I would never claim to be a connoisseur, but I don't think you have to be in order to offer simple advice on what type of wine to bring to a party. Experience dictates that buying wine...

Semi-joking!??!?! maaaaan all these people have been trying so hard to make solid recommendations! Executive Hair Design; Sheppard & Birchmount. All super old-school Italian guys, been going for almost 10 years. I think my dude will be retiring soon though :'( :)

Says the lady judging people by the cost of the wine they bring to the party :\

Dude, for $25, they better be giving you a wash too. My barber in Scarborough will give me a cut, wash and espresso for $20 :) I always gotta tell him "no hairgel" when I show up on the bike LOL
